Understanding Chiropractic Treatments

The philosophy of chiropractic care is to find the origin of your pain and to allow your body to heal itself. Our knowledge of the human anatomy is at the core of everything we do.  Due to the spine’s major influence in many of the body’s movements, we center most of our treatments on the spine.

Our team treats musculoskeletal injuries of all types. One type of injury we often treat is neck pain. Neck pain can occur for many reasons, from sleeping in an uncomfortable position to a car crash. If your car brakes suddenly during an accident, your neck can be thrust quickly forward and then just as quickly backward.  That type of injury is called whiplash, and it causes damage to the muscles and soft tissue surrounding the neck. This leads to extremely uncomfortable symptoms of neck pain, headaches, and more.

Relief from Neck Pain

When you come to our office with neck pain, we will want to hear how and when your pain began and what activities it interferes with. You will receive a complete examination, with special attention to the neck area. We will locate the origin of your pain and provide drug-free neck pain treatment.

Your treatment plan will typically include manual adjustments. To perform this technique, the chiropractor will place their hand on your neck, near the origin of your pain. Adjustment occurs when the chiropractor pushes inward and forward, forcing the spine back into proper alignment. Once realignment occurs, you will start to feel pain relief.
